Beem, did you have this problem with earlier versions of Ice Puppy or Snow Puppy. JWM 500 was added to these latest versions only.
Anyway, I will keep your problem in mind and I will offer a fix when I have a knack of the cure.

I am willing to revert back to JWM 493 if it will fix the screen problem.

I have the problem in Lucid 5.25 as well and I think also in spup and earlier versions of snow/icepuppy.
As others don't have an issue, and not knowing what the cause is, don't revert JWM back.
I can live with the issue.
I appreciate you keep it in mind, but as you can't reproduce it, difficult to diagnose, I understand.

As soon as I am back home I'll see if I have the issue on the 'beloved' Medion, which has a nvideo graphics card._________________Time savers:

I decided to join to the conspiracy. Posting now from that SM 2.
Not bad. How do I get the close button to the browser tab. I know that the solution and answer is here in the forum labyrinth, but well...I thought to cheat a little and ask like newbie.

I like the included Modern theme. Using small icons was next tuning and show text beside icons. Now I have much smaller toolbar. I also unclicked the Personal Toolbar.
New browser tab clickabe icon found.
Yes, I havent much used SM before. I have been mostly Firefox man....
Tomorrow I test the irc functionality. Lets see.....

Hi Pemasu,
I've recently switched from snow puppy 015 to Ice puppy 015
and I'm happy with it.
Flash performance is not so good on my Radeon M6 LY
Is there any way to install new drivers for my ati?
My card is not supported by catalyst, so I wanted to install the newest ati drivers to increase performance.
I've been trying to install xf86-video-ati-6.14.2 from this link
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/
but there are error messages during installation.

I can provide more details, but maybe there is some easier way instead of compiling new version?
regards
Andrew

Seems STU90 updated UM. Will this be in the next round of ICE PUPs with PAE?_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

3 Different Puppy Search Enginesor use DogPile

It looks the drv.so files of lucid and snow puppy are equal, but the spup one is different. A clue? Could I risk to use the spup one in icepup?

The .ko files are different.
Don't know it this is relevant for the issue._________________Time savers:

AndrewG. you need to install aka compile the latest ati driver yourself. Nobody so far hasnt made pet for ati proprietary driver yet.
If you tried some unworking version, it would be good idea to uninstall it first.

Fill your specs and download latest installation package. Place it for example to /mnt/home.
Make the download exucutable if it is not. Right click the download > Properties, click all Exec ticks to enabled.

Then exit to the prompt and run in /mnt/home

Code:

cd /mnt/home
sh ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run

when it has finished enter "aticonfig --initial" and then "xwin" to
get back to the desktop.

The ati driver gets updated fairly often so at least this way you get latest version.

I guoted Billtoos words in above installation guide.

I think I will in future make a link to this

The Nvidia driver for my Acer desktop gets updated even more often and
I use the same method on it.[url][/url]Last edited by pemasu on Wed 22 Jun 2011, 13:07; edited 4 times in total

Gcmartin. I have downloaded Stu90`s latest and greatest Umplayer offering. I havent tested it though. I will take now a little slower updating cycle. The summer in Finland is really short.
Sure it will be in next Ice Puppy and Snow Puppy also.

Beem. It is as it should. Radeon_drv.so should be same in Lucid Puppies, Snow Puppies ans Ice Puppies because they all use same Ubuntu Lucid Xorg packages.

Spup use different set of xorg packages. Dont try that spup version. It wont work.

Radeon.ko is different in all versions because it is kernel module and kernels are different in all your mentioned distros.
